What M2TW Expansion Do You Want?

I'd rather not have gunpowder, thnough I'd still buy the game is it was Napoleonic, and I'd bet the only reason M2TW is the next game and not Napoleonic is they wanted a new engine for Nap. for stuff like navies which where very important etc.

Didn't play Shogun 1 but the era doesn't interest me, plus two sequels in a row would be pretty pathetic from CA, I'd rather see new ideas.

Three Kingdoms China I believe was quite popular when we where speculating what would come out next prior to M2TW release. (not read the whole thread here, probably been discussed here as well) but that seemed quite interesting.

Of-topic, but have you tried it? The era was not one I tilted towards either, but it has a really immersive atmosphere and nice "chrome". MTW and RTW are a little bland by comparison.

Medieval 2: The Norman Conquest (Invasion) would be good. It would feature a similar map to Viking Invasion, the British Isles, parts of Scandinavia and northern France.

I like the Norman conquest idea, but what I reckon will happen will be that there will be two expansions.
The first will be a big one, possibly expanding on the vanilla map (like BI) and that will be a conquistador invasion
The second will be a smaller map (like Alexander or MTW VI) and that might be a norman conquest one.

Of course that's pure speculation

Napoleanic:2 Total War would seem to be the most appropiate expansion pack for M2TW.

I dont see how, they will probably keep to the middle ages, as that is the title of the game. Why would they jump from 1530 to the late eighteenth century? The Napoleonic Wars may well be the next Total War game.

I briefly played STW, and thought some parts were interesting. Didn't play much more than a campaign because it (for obvious reasons) felt less complex than MTW. VI also felt like that a bit, though maybe it was because there wasn't some important authority such as the Pope you had to be worried about. With that said, Religion was also not as important.

I'm also a big supporter for Three Kingdoms: Total War, and if you haven't read the whole thread, I noted maybe one or two mentions. Most want NTW, but I'm expecting the expansion to take us further into North America. I figure the expansion will be similar to VI. We'll get a more indepth map of the americas, and the Spanish would take the place of the Vikings, with the various factions fighting amongst themselves and defending against the invading Conquistadors.

This of course would make the most sense, though I did vote for VI2, partially because one of my favorite things about VI was the music, and I want to hear more of it :D
